Everything is made of steel, even the flowers. How can you love anything in a place like this?Daphne is the half-demon, half-fallen angel daughter of Lucifer and Lilith. Life for her is an endless expanse of time, until her brother Obie is kidnapped - and Daphne realizes she may be partially responsible. Determined to find him, Daphne travels from her home in Pandemonium to the vast streets of Earth, where everything is colder and more terrifying. With the help of the human boy she believes was the last person to see her brother alive, Daphne glimpses into his dreams, discovering clues to Obie's whereabouts. As she delves deeper into her demonic powers, she must navigate the jealousies and alliances of the violent archangels who stand in her way. But she also discovers, unexpectedly, what it means to love and be human in a world where human is the hardest thing to be.This second novel by rising star Brenna Yovanoff is a story of identity, discovery, and a troubled love between two people struggling to find their place both in our world and theirs.
My Thoughts:
Brenna Yovanoff did an incredible job with the
Replacement and I couldn’t wait to get more from her. The Space Between was one
of the titles that I eagerly awaited for a long time!
The world building in The Replacement was fantastic,
but in The Space Between, the world is absolutely amazing and brilliantly
written. Pandemonium is depicted upon the cover, just as I had imagined it and
I absolutely loved the fact that pretty much everything was made of steel, even
the flowers. Yovanoff has the amazing ability to truly make the setting become
one of the characters and she always manages to make it dark and playfully
twisted.
I loved the fact that Yovanoff wrote another book,
which I can only describe as darkly-delicious. The world and the characters are
dark and oh so much fun to read about.
Brenna Yovanoff has a great writing style that is both
addictive and enticing, however; I felt that with this book the writing fell
just a little flat for me, mainly in the sense that I found the main character;
Daphne to be un-relatable and I didn’t see her as a fully developed character.
But other than that all of the characters were great and I especially enjoyed
reading about Lilith.
Brenna has an incredible imagination and I loved the
stories that she tells, even The Space Between will be a book that I will
always remember because of this incredible world and her wonderful writing
style. I look forward to reading more from the author who made me fall head
over heels for darkly-delicious books; Brenna Yovanoff!
